A year ago, Bill Compeau of Armstrong Guitars and Ark Amps published a sketch of a bass guitar on the popular forums, when Tom Richards of F CLEF LLC noticed it. Tom is a guitar industry veteran and long time touring and recording bass player who is known for his association with the most unique and innovative bass products world wide. Tom contacted Bill and immediately the two hit it off.

Bill Compeau, who had designed guitars for other builders over the past decade, immediately set to detailing the design and working with Tom and Kerry Davis of Kerry Davis Guitars for production. The result of that effort is the Relayer Bass, the flagship bass of Kerry Davis Guitars and Armstrong Guitars.

The Relayer bass is the first true new innovation in bass and the newest bass design of 2015. From its unique drop D tuning system to the proprietary G-Hub passive control circuit the bass is packed with tonal options normally only found on active bass guitars.

The brand new Warwick Stu Hamm Signature Bass impressively combines the over 30-year's of experience within the Warwick Custom Shop team and the experience of well-known American bass icon Stu Hamm. It took two years to develop this unique signature instrument. This bass guitar is based on the popular Warwick Streamer Broadneck. Compared with the Streamer Broadneck, the upper body horn has been shifted slightly toward the 12. fret. At the same time, the lower body horn has been altered to make access to the upper frets even more comfortable.

Also Stu Hamm asked for decreased distance between the body and strings to facilitate his unique playing style. For this reason, the instrument incorporates a cavity in the area of the bridge, which has been set deep in the body to create the necessary string pressure. This unique detail introduces a new playing feel many bassists will find interesting.

Stu Hamm has published several solo CDs and played with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Frank...
